HIDDEN WIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
CHAPTER 8
Duncan’s food was soon ready and we both presented our dishes.
Everyone gather round; the staffs, mama, poppa and the kids, they all held their plates and was staring at both dish, wondering which they’d start from.
I cleared my throat.
“Uh… honestly, I’m not a great cook” I confessed. “Why not try Duncan’s dish first, since it look palatable and won’t spoil your taste buds” I suggested.
Duncan smirked which made me rolled my eyeballs. Darling, I should be the one smirking because I’m winning this competition.
“Well, I think Rachel is right” poppa agreed. “Let’s try Duncan’s dish first” he added.
That being said, everyone started serving Duncan’s dish. I was just secretly smirking and shaking my head at those building a mountain on their plates, they don’t know what they’re serving.
When everyone’s done serving, they nodded at each other and began eating at once. But their faces contorted in disgust immediately after taking the first bite, and they began spitting out the food and dumping their plates on the table.
“Duncan, what’s wrong? You were a great cook” mama said as she reached for a glass of water to rinse her mouth.
I burst into fits of laughter as everyone was reaching for glass of water, they glared at Duncan who was staring at me with a smile. I stopped laughing and frowned at him, why’s he smiling at me? Why doesn’t he look surprise?
“Let’s try Rachel’s dish” poppa said.
They all looked scared because my fried cabbage doesn’t look so palatable, then I cleared my throat and sat on a chair.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover” I said gesturing at Duncan’s beef and broccoli.
They nodded in agreement and decided to give it a try, they started serving themselves and when they were all done serving, they stared at poppa as if they’re waiting for him to take the first bite.
Poppa took a deep breath, then served the first spoon and shoved it in his mouth. He chewed slowly for a few seconds, then started shoving down the remaining fried cabbage on his plate.
“Poppa, how’s it?” One of the staffs asked.
Poppa couldn’t speak since his mouth was filled, he nodded and continued shoving more in his mouth.
The others soon joined him and everyone began moaning in appreciation, I smiled and held my head proudly.
One of the little girls rushed to me, she glared at Duncan before turning back to me with a smile.
“Miss Rachel, I was wrong, I should have joined your team” she threw one more glare at Duncan. “Is it too late to join your team?” she asked.
“No, darling” I pinched her cheek softly.
Another girl jumped forward.
“I wanna join your team too” she glared maliciously at Duncan too. “Handsome boys svcks at cooking” she added.
Ok, kids are just something else. How can they forget their favorite person because of a simple meal?
Soon all the kids are standing by my side and begging to join my team; poor kids, they don’t know I won because I cheated.
“Duncan said his wife is as beautiful as a mermaid, that’s not true, Miss Rachel’s more beautiful than a mermaid”
Oh? They are showering compliments on me because I won the competition?
“Yeah, she’s the prettiest girl I’ve seen” another kid said in support.
I winked at Duncan as the kids were showering compliments upon compliments on me, but he simply smiled and shook his head.
One of the kids caught Duncan’s action, then she asked.
“Is Miss Rachel your wife, Duncan?”
He moved closer to me, wrapped his arms around my waist and planted a short kss on my lips, making the kids cover their eyes and giggling.
“Yes, isn’t she as beautiful as a mermaid?” he asked them.
“No!” They chorused.
We both narrowed our eyes at them, but they chuckled before one of them spoke again.
“She’s more beautiful than a mermaid, she’s an angel”
I blushed.
“So… do you like my wife?”
“Yes!!” they shouted, the boys’ voices were the loudest.
Duncan scorned at them.
“You tiny men, get your eyes and dirty minds off my wife” he pulled me impossibly closer. “She’s mine and mine alone!” he said possessively.
I shook my head. He’s jealous of these little boys, he really need to grow up and stop being a baby.
“Miss Rachel is mine, I stood by her earlier!” the little boy who volunteered to join my team, my first teammate said and snatched my hand, then pulled me away from Duncan.
Duncan gaped at the boy.
“Are you seriously fighting with me over my woman?”
“She’s my woman!” the boy stated firmly.
Duncan looked at me as if he’s expecting me to come to him, but I did the opposite. I squatted to the boy’s level and kssed his cheek.
“He’s my man!” I told Duncan, which made the boy grin widely.
“Nooooooo!” he shouted.
I carried the boy and ran off with him, the other kids joined us too.
“Give me my wife back!!” Duncan shouted as he chased after us.
The kids and I laughed at his desperation, but we didn’t stop running.
8:30pm
“We’ll visit you some other time, ok?” Duncan told the kids.
We’re done with our visitation for today, and we had a lot of fun with the kids, now we’re ready to go home.
They pouted in discontentment instead of replying Duncan, we laughed at their expression and waved at them anyway; they waved us back.
“Byeee” they chorused as we walked towards the car.
Lucas already had the door open, we waved the kids once more before sliding in and Lucas drove off.
“They are so gonna miss us” I said sadly as I could feel their sadness.
“Are you indirectly reminding me of how you successfully and effortlessly snatched them from me? Huh?” he reached for my waist and pulled me closer. “You friends snatcher” he held my ear between his teeth softly.
“You can’t pin the blame on me, they’re just curious and wanted to try someone new” I replied.
He huffed and pouted his lips sulkily.
“Are you angry?” I asked.
“Of course, you trickily snatched my friends” he replied. “You think I don’t know you added extra salt in my dish?”
My mouth fell open as I wondered how he managed to find out, or could it be he saw me?
He pinched my nose softly.
“I purposely led the kids away because I wanted to give you an opportunity to play dirty” he rolled his eyes. “I don’t wanna disgrace my wife in front of those kids, but I can’t help getting angry that you actually used the opportunity very well” he pouted his lips even more.
I bite my lower lip sxily as my eyes stayed fixed on his pouted lips. He’s so sweet and childish at the same time.
“Is there a way out for me? Is there any way I can stop you from being angry?”
He looked down at me immediately I asked those questions, his face leaned closer to mine and he looked directly in my eyes lovingly; his eyes sometimes drift towards my lips too.
“How about a hot make out session?” he suggested.
I b!te my lower lip harder and nodded slowly, but suddenly remembered we’re still in the car and there’s an audience.
“Lu-Lucas…”
“Lucas?” he called.
“Yes, Mr Baldwin” Lucas answered, tilting his head slightly.
“I wanna make out with my wife, do you mind?”
Lucas quickly shook his head.
“No, sir, not at all” he replied and instantly put up the glass partition, completely blocking us from his view and creating enough privacy for us.
I gaped at Duncan, but he simply crashed my lips on mine and started kssing me aggressively. I had no time to resist
